The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 39 A Strong Smell of Jealousy

Dinner consisted of crucian carp and tofu soup, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, poached chicken, and stir-fried kale.

Gu Lanxi doesn't eat staple food in the evening, so Aunt Wang quickly scooped up a few buckwheat noodles for Lu Nanting and then hid back in the nanny's room.

"There's a strong smell of vinegar."

The other dishes tonight didn't have much flavor, but Gu Lanxi smelled the vinegared cabbage as soon as she entered the door.

She was quite happy to be able to eat this tangy and crisp dish after a long day of running around in the sweltering summer heat and having her blood drawn.

As a result, Lu Nanting was sitting on the sofa, silently flipping through a book called "A Random Walk Down Wall Street," looking completely dejected.

Because of the wedding, Lu Nanting lost three million followers on Weibo overnight, and they were all active followers. Gu Lanxi thought he was sad about it, so she put down her bag and went over to call him for dinner.

"You eat first, I'll wash my face and come right away."

Aunt Wang, as a top-notch nanny, is sought after by bigwigs in the entertainment industry. Besides being tight-lipped and highly skilled, she is also known for her tact and never meddling in her employers' private affairs.

In the past, she would always inform her employer whenever Wu Feng delivered fish, but today she didn't mention it at all.

Since there was no master of the house before, only her, and Lu Nanting, the male master of the house, is here today, it would seem that she doesn't take Lu Nanting seriously if she reported to him again.

Therefore, Gu Lanxi knew nothing about this.

In her view, having seen Wu Feng this morning and already refused him in person, no normal person would come to deliver fish to her again.

Lu Nanting sat down at the dining table without saying a word, without touching his chopsticks. He leaned back in his chair, one hand on the table and the other on his leg, his long legs coolly extended, waiting for her to come.

Gu Lanxi washed her face and came out with moisturizing lotion when she saw him giving her a cold shoulder, so she couldn't help but purse her lips.

sit down.

Have half a bowl of soup first.

Lu Nanting has the temper of a young master, and she is not as gentle as she seems.

These days, who isn't a stubborn person?

I told you long ago that marrying her was not a good idea.

I thought he was fully prepared, but I didn't expect that he would start regretting it so soon...

Lu Nanting, unaware of her thoughts, assumed she knew about the fisherman delivering the fish.

Not only did she not refuse, but this was also her favorite dish among all the dishes on the table!

As soon as she entered, she deliberately mocked him, saying something like, "You smell so strongly of jealousy!"
Gu Lanxi has always been outstanding. Even in kindergarten, boys would often pull her pigtails. As she grew up, she would pull out boxes full of love letters from under her desk. Lu Nanting knew long ago that he had many rivals in love.

He also has many suitors, but he never accepts gifts from them because he knows he doesn't like them and will consciously keep his distance.

He was angry not because of Wu Feng's existence, but because of Gu Lanxi's refusal to refuse.

Gu Lanxi is a master of ninjutsu; a cold war with her will definitely end badly.

Seeing that she had already eaten half of a chicken wing, Lu Nanting awkwardly said, "I want to build a fishing platform by the lake."

Gu Lanxi took it as him offering a way out, and for a moment she also found it funny that she was angry.

We can't expect him to overcome every difficulty on his own.

Gu Lanxi just thought it was to make him happy: "Of course, we can contact a designer later and design it to your liking."

Seeing that she hadn't grasped his deeper meaning at all, Lu Nanting picked up the bowl, his face still sour.

Glancing at the two crucian carp floating in the soup bowl, Lu Nanting said in despair, "I can learn to fish too."

After moving, there will be a lake right outside my door. Learning to fish will be a piece of cake then.

Gu Lanxi finally realized something was wrong. She glanced at the fried fish and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Was this sent by Wu Feng?"

"You do not know?"

Knowing that he wasn't angry because of the loss of followers, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but find it amusing.

"I ran into him in the garage this morning, said hello, and he offered to bring me a few, which I refused. Why did he bring them now?"

Gu Lanxi put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone, and sure enough, Wu Feng had mentioned in the building group chat that afternoon that he had sent fish to everyone.

After casually sending a thank you message on WeChat, Gu Lanxi put down her phone and patiently explained:

“Every household has one, don’t worry about it. He likes fishing, and when he catches too much to eat, he often gives it to the neighbors. He just gives them a gift in return.”

"Then why don't I have any?"

"You didn't reply in the group chat! There's no one staying upstairs, so he can't deliver it even if he wanted to, right?" Bihu Tiandi has strong security. Between floors, if the fire door isn't open, you can only go up and down via the elevator. Without the homeowner's permission, people from other floors can't go to this floor either.

Lu Nanting realized he had inadvertently become jealous and felt a little embarrassed.

Although she wasn't a person of bad character, Gu Lanxi still offered an explanation:

“He did pursue me, but I rejected him outright. I've never received any gifts from him individually, and our daily interactions are similar to those of other neighbors. So don't overthink it.”

"I'm sorry, I should have asked you first."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of kale for her.

The two started chatting, and Gu Lanxi wanted to ask him what he thought about losing followers.

"Your Weibo followers have vanished by millions overnight, and now a lot of people are predicting your marriage will fail. Do you regret getting married?"

Lu Nanting frowned: "This was expected, what's the point of regretting it?"

After saying that, he sighed and looked at Gu Lanxi: "Be more confident, huh? So many people dream of marrying you, why are you always worried that I will regret it? Speaking of which, after we got married, I spent every day in a state of secret joy, but you didn't. Comrade Gu, I am very disappointed in you."

Gu Lanxi smiled and looked at him, then silently placed a chicken wing into his bowl.

"Let's eat!"

Okay, he's just that easy to please.

I'm not like those dramatic men out there, always causing trouble.

Lu Nanting gave himself a big compliment, and finally finished the meal smoothly.

When Aunt Wang came out to clear the dishes, she saw that the two of them hadn't argued at all. Instead, they were sitting side by side on the living room sofa, watching a movie sweetly. She couldn't help but sigh that having an emotionally stable partner is sometimes really enviable.

Miss Gu is definitely the most emotionally stable person she has ever met.

After Aunt Wang finished clearing away the dishes and left, Gu Lanxi asked him, "You were clearly unhappy, so why did you still ask Aunt Wang to make crucian carp and tofu soup?"

Given Aunt Wang's intelligence, she would never have done this tonight if Lu Nanting hadn't instructed her to.

Lu Nanting pulled her into his arms, making her sit against him, before letting out a soft hum and whispering:
"Because I know you like it."

To let him and his brothers understand the meaning of "every grain is hard-earned", when his brother was three years old, his mother bought a farm in the suburbs.

Later, that farm was demolished, and she bought a bigger one in a place even further away.

My mother cares a lot about the health of her family's diet, and all the organic vegetables we eat at home are supplied by this farm.

Because of its remote location, the new farm covers a large area and has a large pond where many fish are raised.

These fish live off the elements, just like wild fish. They don't even get the extra food that anglers provide by baiting their ponds. Although they grow very slowly, they are exceptionally fresh.

Lu Nanting had eaten with her many times, and she would always eat a lot of this dish whenever her family made it.

The crucian carp has tender flesh, but it also has many bones. While others usually just drink the soup, she patiently removes the bones and eats it bit by bit, eating at least one fish per meal.

The father now teaches his grandchildren to be more patient, and he still brings up this matter from time to time, saying that Gu Lanxi is the most patient person he has ever met.

Gu Lanxi was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to notice this.

"Don't you know I hate water spinach?"

Lu Nanting put his arm around her shoulder and patted her head.

Gu Lanxi was speechless again, unsure of what to say.

She remembers the preferences of those around her, but only because she has a good memory.

The habit of remembering things for future needs is primarily for personal gain.

His starting point was completely different.

After a long pause, Gu Lanxi finally managed to utter, "Thank you."

Thank you for remembering.

Thank you for caring.

Surprisingly, the young master is not only easy to coax, but he is also good at coaxing himself.
